Rainy days can be surprisingly productive.

Block printed wallpaper test strips: succulent blossom in silvery grey and red. Two different blocks were used for each one because the red one has the motif in lines and the grey is more randomly distributed across the paper. The grey one looks even better than the photos make out. I can see how this print would work in a bedroom; really soft and delicate.

I had Jen Cloher and then The Waifs playing in the background to help me get into the groove.

  2. i knew you would do an amazing job of the wallpaper and am glad the actual paper quality suited you! they both look so gorgeous..but i think the meandering nature of the grey is particularly special.
    looking forward to teaching the class with you in the new year.
    perhaps we can use jen and the waifs as our soundtrack then too - i am a fan of both of them!

  3. Thanks Carmel. Funny thing is I didn't set out to print grey. I started mixing brown and then changed my mind as I went. I just went with it and decided to be a bit flexible.

  5. They both look fantastic, my fave...the grey. The random placement is what I like as opposed to orderly placement in the red. Still both very effective!!!Terese
